oikeankokoista

Oikeankokoista is a Finnish adjective form meaning "of the right size" or "properly sized." It is the partitive singular form of the adjective oikeankokoinen, which is derived from the stem oikea meaning "right" or "correct" and koko meaning "size." The construction is used when the noun it describes is in the partitive case, a common situation in Finnish for indefinite quantities or when the action is not complete.

In Finnish, oikeankokoinen describes a noun that has the appropriate or suitable size. The full set of related forms includes oikeankokoinen (nominative singular), oikeankokoiset (nominative plural), and oikeankokoista (partitive singular), as well as other inflections for different cases and numbers. This pattern is typical for adjectives that modify nouns and agree in number and case with the noun.

Usage of oikeankokoista is common in contexts such as shopping, fashion, and retail, where customers describe items that fit properly. Examples include: "Haluaisin oikeankokoista mekkoa" meaning “I would like a dress of the right size,” and "Tarjoa minulle oikeankokoista kenkää" meaning “Offer me right-sized shoes.” The form emphasizes fit and suitability of size rather than general quality.

For learners, the key point is that oikeankokoista functions as a normal Finnish adjective inflected to match the noun it describes in the partitive case. Related phrases include sopiva koko (a suitable size) and other inflected forms of oikeankokoinen for different grammatical contexts.
